T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VVILLIAM R. TINGLn, a citizen of the United Statesof America,

and resident of Charlotte, in the county of Mecklenburg and State ofNorth Carolina have invented certain new and useful Improvements inNecktie Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to brackets, and particularly to a device torholding neckties, ribbons or the like.

An object of this invention is to provide a support for articles such asindicated, to be referred to as f neck-- hereinafter specifically ti es,by which the neckties canbeapplied orderly condition, but soiexhibitsthem inorder that proper select-ion can be made It is a stillfurtherobject of this invention to produce a necktie holder ofthe-character indicated which will be comparatively 1nxpensive tomanufacture and that can'be folded to occupy comparatively-small spacewhile being transported or stored.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists inthe details of construction, and in the arrangement and combination ofparts to be hereinaftermore fully set forth and claimed.

' In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings forming part of this application, wherein likecharacters denote corresponding parts in the several views, and inwhich- Figure 1 illustrates a view in perspective,

showing a necktie holder embodying the invention; I

Figure2 illustrates a sectional V18W .Of a

fra ment of the holder, showing the con-' nection of the bail therewith;and

Figure 3 illustrates a detailed plan view of the joint between the endsof the holder.

In these drawings 5 denotes a relatively straight sectionof resilientmaterial, preftor neckties which may that the bail may swing to theposition erably metal, having integral extensions o and 1 that arebowedgor-curvedand have their ends overlapping'to form the joint, as

shown at 8. Preferabl the end of the ex siony 7, and' the said extension6 preferably terminates n a slightly. outwardly bent lip 11 thatfacilitates the application ofthe necktie betweenthe two ends of the.extensions, it being of course understood that these extensions are tobe' forced apart to produce a clearance for the insertion'ofthe tiewhich may be hung" on the support,

The device is of such dimensions that it tension 6 is offset slig tly,as shown 'ati9', v I to form a seat for the end ojt the-extenwill hold agreat number of ties, and-of course the size may be changed to suitparticular requirements. Apertures are for'med in the extensions asshown at 12,-at pointsnear their merger with the straight portion "5,and these aper tu'res form clearances for the reception of the bail orhanger 13 by which the holder is" suspended or supported. Preferably,the,

or other suspending device."

The bail has portions extending through the apertures 12, as shown at15'and 16,;so'

shown in Fig. 1, or it may be swung downwardly from the, position inwhich it is shown inFig. '1, to embrace the portio v and 7, it being thepurposeoi the inventor that the bail shall be slightly larger' tha'n thesupport in order that itwill nest with relation to it when folded. Thebail ten minates in angularly dispo'sed'portions =17 and 18 which engagethe under edges of the extensions 6 and '7 and produce a bracing actionby which the holder is'reta-ined'in horizontal position when the bail ishanging vertically, and, as 'stated,the relation of parts is such thatthe baihmay be swung to a folded position when the device is not in use.i

From an in'spection'of the drawing and from the foregoing description,it will be understood that the device can beconstructed of two pieces ofmetah: and can-be made by the stamping and bending processes so that thecost of production will be'comparatively small. I

.Iclaim: v

1.111 a necktieholder, a member having extensions'projecting outwardlytherefrom,

the ends-of the said extensions overlapping I v 0 ball has an ev oriloop14 to receive a-nail each other, a hail extending through the extensionsand pivoted thereon, the said bail having angularly disposed portionsunderlying the said extensions for limiting the 5 movement of the bailand member With relation to each other in one direction. I

2. In a necktie holder, a body having overlapping resilient ends adaptedto be forced apart, a bail having ends extending through the holderwhereby there is relative pivotal movement of the bail and holder, andangularly disposed extensions of the bail adapted to underlie the edgeof the holder and forming supports to limit the relative oscillatorymotion of the said holder and hail.
